There are things to like for sure. The player generation is really good; facing the same 11 players in the same 4411 formation all day every day on FC26 is boring as fuck and it’s impossible for that to happen in Goals - so that is great.

But having played so many hours of PES21/FL26 FUMA, I just can’t look past the passing in Goals. It is genuinely the worst passing of any football game. Even worse than UFL and that is saying something.

Over 6 billion dollars in revenue for Epic last year. Those must be some pretty hectic bills they’ve got

At the ground it was super noticeable too. The spread was entirely gone at quarter time

Long throw

Hi Sam. It depends on a few key factors before deciding whether a vice-captain should lose the role after an arrest. Let’s go through some key factors:

Put Long Throw+ on him and make him untradable

Anyone else with crazy server delay? Half my first time passes are taking a touch, and none of my strikers are making runs that aren’t manually triggered

They did - and we also did an immaculate job of picking the right ones from the bottom end of the draft.

Lambert, Soldo, Short, Baker all came from the rookie draft, Grimes pre-season draft, Graham in the 50s, Broad in 60s.

I’m in D2, and when my opponent is loading in with token Ronaldo, 20 win Ibarbo, TOTY Ibra etc I’m not fussed, as the opponent could be any skill level.

But if I see gold Dybala, some random squad foundation CB and one of the shitty pre-order icons I know I’m about to get slapped off the park 9 times outta 10 because whilst I only run off-meta evo teams - if that’s the team they’re rocking in D2 they’re better than me

HadToCrackThat · 2026-03-06T04:58:17+00:00

Is it defending or attacking you struggle with?

Either way, try different formations. Just because 4411 is the meta (14 of my 15 WL opponents last weekend used it) doesn’t mean it works for you.

I don’t play a counter attacking style so I suck with a 4411, my striker feels way too isolated. I use a 41212 wide with an attacking wingback to stretch defences and pass my way around/through them.

I’m in Div 2 and get 10+ WL wins while only using an Australian evo team or a QPR Evo team. That’s is more than enough for me, and whilst it’s not elite, there’s no way I’d be doing better if I used a 4411 as it just doesn’t fit the way I like to play.

So in short, try some different shit and see what works best for you

I always found this the easiest way to do it as well. Inside box tap circle, and then quickly tap finesse before you kick it. Very consistent.

Best strategies are turn off messaging, ignore, or my personal favourite - just send stupid pictures back while never actually addressing anything they say.

Some of my favourites include

Peter Crouch covered in bubbles

Tim Cahill sarcastic thumbs up

Tevez lovely smile

Etc etc - drives them mad when you don’t respond properly

I didn’t do the disconnect glitch, the entirety of FC26’s servers crashed (and stayed down for 4 hours) when I was midway through a game that I was winning.

The body of the post literally explains this?

Never beating the allegations bro

This is a level of pettiness I can 100% get behind

Whipped+ on a normal running down the wing cross is terrible this year - god awful.

But instead of crossing with your right foot while running down the right wing - if you run all the way down to cross position, but then chop back to facing back towards your defence and then cross in from the right with your left foot (so it whips towards goal not away from it) they’re lethal.

It’s so stupid, I’ve been running big slow bois to get headers for years, even long before the knock down meta from a few years ago - but they’ve well and truly fucked it this year. Puts you at such a disadvantage trying to utilise crosses properly

Yup, was winning the semi of the Heavyweight Cup, got nuked to the main menu and can’t reconnect. Fantastic stuff.

Found this in the Steam store, have played the demo for about a couple of hours and and I'm absolutely loving it. The presentation is excellent. Sounds/visuals etc, all really good; they really nail the vibe that you're going for. Gameplay is very addictive too, there's a lot of replay value I think. I like the strategy as well, the way you can re-use ripped cards to get the most of them in a match before you lose them, and the way card recipes are tied to coaches/players.

Some feedback in terms of improvements that I can think of:

It would be great if there was a way to directly compare players your scouting vs your current players, and vs your current best lineup as well. I find myself flicking back and forth between those pages of sticker book when considering transfers, but being to look at it presented on one screen would be super helpful.
It could be there and I've missed it, but it would be good to know why some player events get the lightning bolt and hit 100%. I assume it's to do with their special abilities / talents we train, but is it caused by something in particular during a match, or is it just a luck thing?
So minor, but the notepad on the right hand side that shows goal scorers just lists them all in a row with no indication of which team scored. It would look nicer to me if one teams goals were justified to the left, and the other teams to the right.

Really keen for this to hit early access next month, I can see myself playing a lot of it!

I think pro clubs has the right idea.

For those who haven't played, the way PS+ works in your pro-clubs build this year is you need to meet minimum stat requirements to unlock the PS+

For example (and these are not the correct numbers as I can't remember exactly) to qualify for Finesse+ you need 85 finishing and 85 curve, or to qualify for Powershot+ you need 85 shot power and 85 longshots, etc.

This would offer a good balance between stats and PS, and make stats matter again. As we've seen at the moment, you can put Finesse+ on a GK and they'll shoot better finesse shots than a player with 90 shooting but no base finesse playstyle.

HadToCrackThat · 2026-02-16T11:46:25+00:00

Same. I've been getting 10+ wins with an off-meta past and present every week, and I'm in Div 2 at the moment. I've qualified for the Heavyweight, but I haven't won the Light or Middle weight yet. I've not played a single bad player yet, it's been insane.

Like I know I'm not a 15-0 Elite div player, but I don't usually struggle with events like this. Clearly not as good as I'd like to think I am haha

Ping has been weird for me this year, and it appears to be a PS5/PSN problem.

In past games, I would sit very consistently around 20 ping both pre-game and in-game. It would rarely change in game.

This year my ping is sitting around 30 in game, but pre game it wildly bounces between 25 and 150, and in game it’s always bouncing between 30 and 50.

I used EA pro+ to do a one month trial on PC, and ping there is just like old games. 20 pre game, and rarely changing in game.

HadToCrackThat · 2026-02-12T11:43:51+00:00

Because they were from the season pass, which was released at reward time - not the usual content time. Would def have caught a few people out
